Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Sonoco Products Company, a South Carolina corporation (the “Borrower” or “you”), has advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (together with its designated affiliates, “MSSF” and, together with JPMorgan and each person that becomes a party hereto pursuant to a Joinder Agreement (as defined below), collectively, the “Commitment Parties”, “we” or “us”) that it intends to consummate the Acquisition and the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description or the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B or the Conditions Precedent to the Bridge Facility attached hereto as Exhibit C (together with Exhibit B hereto, the “Term Sheet”). This commitment letter, together with all Exhibits hereto, is referred to as this “Commitment Letter”.

1. Commitments

In connection with the foregoing, (a) JPMorgan is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility (and each Tranche thereof) and (b) MSSF is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility (and each Tranche thereof), in each case, upon the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter and, as to the funding thereunder, subject solely to the satisfaction, or waiver by each of the Commitment Parties, of the Funding Conditions (as defined below). It is understood and agreed that any event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date that would result in a mandatory commitment reduction with respect to the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) as set forth in the Term Sheet under the heading titled “Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions” shall reduce the amount of the Bridge Facility (and such Tranche thereof), and the aggregate amount of the Commitment Parties’ commitments hereunder (on a pro rata basis as among the Commitment Parties, based on the amount of their respective commitments under such Tranche), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and you agree to give the Arrangers prompt written notice of the occurrence of any such event, together with a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of any such reduction.

2. Titles and Roles

It is agreed that (a) JPMorgan will act as the sole and exclusive administrative agent for the Bridge Facility (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), (b) JPMorgan and MSSF will act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Bridge Facility (in such capacities, the “Arrangers”) and (c) MSSF will be appointed as the syndication agent for the Bridge Facility. You agree that no other agents, co-agents, bookrunners or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letters referred to below) will be paid by you or your subsidiaries in connection with the Bridge Facility unless agreed by you and the Arrangers; provided that you may assign agent or co-agent titles as reasonably agreed by the Arrangers. It is further agreed that JPMorgan will appear on the top left of the cover page of any marketing materials or other documentation for the Bridge Facility and will hold the role and have the authority conventionally understood to be associated with such name placement and that MSSF will appear immediately to the right of JPMorgan on the cover page of any such marketing materials or other documentation for the Bridge Facility.

3. Syndication

The Arrangers intend to syndicate the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) to a group of banks or other financial institutions (together with JPMorgan and MSSF, the “Lenders”) identified by the Arrangers in consultation with you; provided that (a) the Arrangers will only syndicate the Bridge Facility to banks or other financial institutions that are (i) approved by you (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), it being understood and agreed that any bank or financial institution that is set forth in the syndication plan for the Bridge Facility agreed to by you and the Arrangers prior to the date hereof or that otherwise becomes a party hereto pursuant to a Joinder Agreement is deemed to be approved by you, (ii) lenders under any Existing Credit Agreement (other than any Defaulting Lender under, and as defined in, such Existing Credit Agreement as of the date of such syndication) or (iii) commercial or investment banks that, in the case of this clause (iii), at the time of such syndication have a corporate rating (however denominated) or senior unsecured, noncredit enhanced long term indebtedness rating from S&P (as defined below) that is BBB- or higher or from Moody’s (as defined below) that is Baa3 or higher (the persons referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Permitted Assignees”) and (b) the allocations of the commitments under the Bridge Facility among the Lenders shall be subject to your approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further, that in the event that a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Arranger Fee Letter (as defined below)) shall not have occurred within 45 days following the date hereof, then any such allocation after such 45-day period shall not be subject to your approval (but shall be made in consultation with you). Subject to your rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Arrangers will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you, including decisions as to the selection of institutions to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders.

2

Until the earlier of 60 days following the Closing Date and the completion of a Successful Syndication (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree to actively assist (and, subject to limitations on your rights under the Acquisition Documents, to use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Group to actively assist) the Arrangers in completing a Successful Syndication. Such assistance shall include (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships, (b) direct contact between your senior management and advisors and the proposed Lenders (and, subject to limitations on your rights under the Acquisition Documents, upon request of the Arrangers, using your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between senior management of the Acquired Group and the proposed Lenders) on reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times and places, (c) your assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum with respect to the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Arrangers (the “Confidential Information Memorandum”) and other customary marketing materials (including a customary lender presentation) to be used in connection with the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) (collectively with the Term Sheet and any additional versions of the Confidential Information Memorandum prepared for distributions to the Public-Siders (as hereafter defined), the “Information Materials”), (d) prior to the commencement of general syndication, your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain updated public corporate ratings (but no specific rating) and updated public ratings (but no specific rating) of the Borrower’s senior unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term indebtedness for borrowed money from each of Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”), in each that give effect to the Transactions and (e) the hosting, with the Arrangers, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders at times and places to be mutually agreed (which meetings may be held virtually). You also agree to execute and deliver one or more Joinder Agreements in respect of any Permitted Assignee as soon as reasonably practicable following the delivery thereof to you by the Arrangers. You hereby authorize the Commitment Parties to download copies of your trademark logos from your website and to post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Arrangers to be the electronic transmission system (an “Electronic Platform”) established by the Arrangers to syndicate the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), and to use the Borrower’s trademark logos on any Information Materials or, with your consent (other than with respect to customary “tombstones” or “case studies” or similar advertisements), in any advertisements that any Commitment Party may place after the Closing Date in financial and other newspapers, journals, the internet, home page or otherwise, at its own expense describing its services to the Borrower hereunder. Upon the request by the Arrangers, you will, subject to limitations on your rights under the Acquisition Documents, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Group to furnish to the Arrangers for no fee an electronic version of the Acquired Group’s trademark logos for use in marketing materials for the purpose of facilitating the syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof); provided that such logos and trademarks shall be used in a manner that is not intended to, and is not reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Seller’s or the Acquired Group’s reputations or goodwill.

3

In order to facilitate an orderly and successful syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof), you agree that until the Syndication Date, the Borrower will not and will not permit its subsidiaries to (and will, subject to limitations on your rights under the Acquisition Documents, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquired Group to not) issue, announce, offer, place or arrange debt securities or any syndicated credit facilities of the Borrower or its subsidiaries or of the Acquired Group (other than (i) the Senior Notes and the Term Facility, (ii) any amendment or refinancing of the revolving credit facility established under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement, so long as the aggregate committed amount and, without duplication, outstanding amount thereunder shall not exceed $1,250,000,000, (iii) indebtedness of the Acquired Group incurred prior to the Closing Date as permitted pursuant to the Acquisition Documents, (iv) intercompany indebtedness of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, (v) capital leases, commercial paper issuances, letters of credit and purchase money and equipment financings of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, (vi) working capital facilities of foreign subsidiaries, (vii) any other financing agreed by the Arrangers, (viii) indebtedness issued to refinance any existing senior notes of the Borrower within 18 months of the stated maturity thereof, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the principal amount so refinanced (plus interest and premium owing thereon and fees and expenses relating thereto) and (ix) other indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000), in each case if such issuance, announcement, offering, placement or arrangement could reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof).

If requested by the Arrangers, you also will assist the Arrangers in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials (the “Public-Side Version”) to be used by prospective Lenders’ public-side employees and representatives (“Public-Siders”) who do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Borrower, the Acquired Group, their respective affiliates and any of their respective securities (“MNPI”) and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to the Borrower, the Acquired Group, their respective affiliates or the securities of any of the foregoing. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to execute and deliver to the Arrangers (i) a customary letter in which you authorize distribution of the Information Materials to a prospective Lender’s employees willing to receive MNPI (“Private- Siders”), which shall include a customary “10b-5” representation by you (which shall not be qualified as to knowledge), and a customary letter (limited to such representation) by the Acquired Group with respect to historical or factual information relating to the Acquired Group, and (ii) if requested, separate customary letter (including such representation) in which you authorize distribution of the Public-Side Version to Public-Siders not containing any MNPI.

The Borrower agrees that the following documents may be distributed to both Private- Siders and Public-Siders, unless the Borrower advises the Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private-Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets summarizing the terms of the Bridge Facility (or either Tranche thereof) and notification of changes in such terms and (c) other materials intended for prospective Lenders after the initial distribution of Information Materials. If you advise the Arrangers that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private-Siders, then Public-Siders will not receive such materials without further discussions with you.

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Arrangers to distribute draft and execution versions of the Bridge Credit Agreement to Private-Siders and Public- Siders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or any other agreement or undertaking concerning the Bridge Facility, but without limiting the Funding Conditions and without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication as set forth in this Section 3, neither any of the foregoing obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3 nor the commencement, conduct or completion of the syndication of the Bridge Facility contemplated by this Section 3 is a condition to the commitments of the Commitment Parties hereunder or the funding of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting your representation and warranty set forth in Section 4 below, nothing contained in this Commitment Letter shall require you to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you, the Acquired Group or your or its respective affiliates; provided that you shall (x) use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate, to the extent permitted, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable law, rule, regulation or obligation, and (y) to the extent you are unable to disclose any such information, notify us if any such information is being withheld as a result of any such obligation of confidentiality (but solely if providing such notice would not violate such confidentiality obligation).

4. Information

To assist the Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and provide (and, subject to limitations on your rights under the Acquisition Documents, to cause the Acquired Group to prepare and provide) to the Arrangers all customary information with respect to the Borrower, its subsidiaries, the Acquired Group and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections concerning the Borrower, its subsidiaries and the Acquired Group (the “Projections”), as the Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Bridge Facility. You hereby represent and warrant (in the case of information relating to the Acquired Group, prior to the Closing Date, to the best of your knowledge) that (a) all written information other than the Projections, forward-looking information and other information of a general economic or industry nature (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Arrangers by you or any of your representatives in connection with the Transactions, when taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, and taken together with any supplements and updates thereto from time to time (to the extent such supplements or updates are provided prior to the commencement of syndication of the Bridge Facility), complete and correct in all material respects and, when taken as a whole, does not or will not, when furnished, and taken together with any such supplements and updates thereto, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Arrangers by you or any of your representatives in connection with the Transactions have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were believed by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date such Projections are prepared and as of the date such Projections are made available to the Arrangers (it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material). If, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would not be accurate and complete in any material respect (prior to the Closing Date, to your knowledge with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Acquired Group) if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you agree to promptly supplement the Information and/or Projections so that the representations and warranties contained in this paragraph (prior to the Closing Date, to your knowledge with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Acquired Group) remain accurate and complete in all material respects under those circumstances. The accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties shall not be a condition to the obligations of any Commitment Party hereunder. You understand that we may use and rely on the Information without independent verification thereof, and you acknowledge and agree that we will have no obligation to conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of the Borrower, its subsidiaries, the Acquired Group or any other person or to advise or opine on any solvency issues.

You agree that, once paid, the fees or any part thereof payable hereunder or under the Fee Letters shall not be refundable under any circumstances, regardless of whether the transactions or borrowings contemplated by this Commitment Letter are consummated, except as otherwise agreed in writing by you and each applicable Commitment Party. All fees payable hereunder and under the Fee Letters shall be paid in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars and shall not be subject to reduction by way of withholding, setoff or counterclaim or be otherwise affected by any claim or dispute related to any other matter. In addition, all fees payable hereunder shall be paid without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any national, state or local taxing authority, or will be grossed up by you for such amounts.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letters, the Bridge Credit Agreement or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (a) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date shall be (i) such of the representations and warranties made by or with respect to the Seller or the Acquired Group in the Acquisition Documents as are material to the interests of the Lenders (in their capacities as such), but only to the extent that you have (or an affiliate of yours has) the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to decline to consummate the Acquisition or to terminate your (or your affiliates’) obligations under the Acquisition Documents as a result of the breach of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Documents (the “Acquisition Documents Representations”) and (ii) the Specified Representations (as hereinafter defined) and (b) the terms of the Bridge Credit Agreement, to the extent not expressly set forth in the Term Sheet, shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the loans under the Bridge Facility on the Closing Date if the Funding Conditions are satisfied or waived. For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower relating to corporate status of the Borrower, corporate power and authority of the Borrower to enter into the Bridge Credit Agreement, due authorization, execution, delivery and enforceability of the Bridge Credit Agreement by or against the Borrower, no conflicts with or consents under charter documents of the Borrower, solvency of the Borrower and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis after giving effect to the Transactions (solvency to be defined in a manner consistent with Annex I to Exhibit C), Federal Reserve margin regulations, the use of the proceeds of the Bridge Facility not violating laws against sanctioned persons, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or the Patriot Act and compliance with the Investment Company Act.

You agree, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to not assert any claims against any Arranger-Related Person with respect to any of the foregoing.

You further acknowledge that each Commitment Party, together with its affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, each Commitment Party and its affiliates may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, you and other companies with which you may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Commitment Party, any of its affiliates or any customers of such Commitment Party or its affiliates, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

ANNEX I to EXHIBIT B

CONFIDENTIAL

Interest and Certain Fees

Interest Rate Options: | The Borrower may elect that the Bridge Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
| (a)      the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or
| (b)     the Adjusted Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin. Applicable Margin shall be determined in accordance with the Pricing Grid set forth below. The Borrower may elect interest periods of 1, 3 or 6 months for Term SOFR borrowings.
| As used herein:
| “Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month interest period commencing on such day (or, if such day is not a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the immediately preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day) plus 1.00% per annum. For the purpose of clause (c) above, the Adjusted Term SOFR on any day shall be based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate at approximately 5:00 a.m., Chicago time, on such day (or any amended publication time for the Term SOFR Reference Rate, as specified by the CME Term SOFR Administrator in the Term SOFR Reference Rate methodology); provided that if such rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the benchmark replacement with respect thereto has been determined pursuant to the Bridge Credit Agreement), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00%.
| “Adjusted Term SOFR” means, with respect to any borrowing for any interest period, an interest rate per annum equal to the Term SOFR for such interest period plus 0.10%; provided that if the Adjusted Term SOFR as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be equal to zero.

B-I-1

| “CME Term SOFR Administrator” means CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited as administrator of the forward-looking term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) (or a successor administrator). “Federal Funds Effective Rate” means, for any day, the rate calculated by the NYFRB based on such day’s federal funds transactions by depositary institutions, as determined in such manner as the NYFRB shall set forth on the NYFRB Website from time to time, and published on the next succeeding business day by the NYFRB as the federal funds effective rate, provided that if the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. “NYFRB” means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. “NYFRB Rate” means, for any day, the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day and (b) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate in effect on such day (or for any day that is not a business day, for the immediately preceding business day); provided that if none of such rates are published for any day that is a business day, the term “NYFRB Rate” means the rate for a federal funds transaction quoted at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day received by the Administrative Agent from a federal funds broker of recognized standing selected by it; provided, further, that if the NYFRB Rate as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero. “NYFRB Website” means the website of the NYFRB at http://www.newyorkfed.org, or any successor source. “Overnight Bank Funding Rate” means, for any day, the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar transactions denominated in US dollars by U.S.-managed banking offices of depository institutions, as such composite rate shall be determined by the NYFRB as set forth on the NYFRB Website from time to time, and published on the next succeeding business day by the NYFRB as an overnight bank funding rate.

B-I-2

| “Prime Rate” means the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States or, if The Wall Street Journal ceases to quote such rate, the highest per annum interest rate published by the Federal Reserve Board in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (Selected Interest Rates) as the “bank prime loan” rate or, if such rate is no longer quoted therein, any similar rate quoted therein (as determined by the Administrative Agent) or any similar release by the Federal Reserve Board (as determined by the Administrative Agent). Each change in the Prime Rate shall be effective from and including the date such change is publicly announced or quoted as being effective. “SOFR” means a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administrator. “SOFR Administrator” means the NYFRB (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate). “Term SOFR” means, for any tenor comparable to the applicable interest period, the Term SOFR Reference Rate at approximately 5:00 a.m., Chicago time, two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the commencement of such tenor comparable to the applicable interest period, as such rate is published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator. “Term SOFR Reference Rate” means, for any day and time (such day, the “Term SOFR Determination Day”), with respect to any loan and for any tenor comparable to the applicable interest period, the rate per annum published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator and identified by the Administrative Agent as the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR. If by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Term SOFR Determination Day, the “Term SOFR Reference Rate” for the applicable tenor has not been published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator and a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to Term SOFR has not occurred, then, so long as such day is otherwise a U.S. Government Securities Business Day, the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such Term SOFR Determination Day will be the Term SOFR Reference Rate as published in respect of the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference Rate was published by the CME Term SOFR Administrator, so long as such first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day is not more than five U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such Term SOFR Determination Day. “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day except for (a) a Saturday, (b) a Sunday or (c) a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in United States government securities.

In the case of Bridge Loans bearing interest based upon the Adjusted Term SOFR (“Term SOFR Loans”), on the last day of each relevant interest period and, in the case of any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date three months after the first day of such interest period.
Default Rate: | At any time when the Borrower is in default in the payment of any amount of principal due under the Bridge Facility, such amount shall bear interest at 2% above the rate otherwise applicable thereto. Overdue interest, fees and other amounts shall bear interest at 2% above the rate applicable to ABR Loans.
Duration Fee: | [***]
Ticking Fee: | The Borrower will pay a fee (the “Ticking Fee”), for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in an amount equal to the percentage determined in accordance with Level IV (or, if applicable, Level V) in the Pricing Grid set forth below of the daily aggregate amount of the commitments under the Bridge Facility, accruing from and including the day that is [●] days following the date of the Commitment Letter and to but excluding the Fee Payment Date, which fee shall be payable upon the Fee Payment Date (or earlier termination of the commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility). For the purposes hereof, “Fee Payment Date” means the earlier of (i) termination or expiration of the commitments under the Bridge Facility and (ii) the Closing Date. The Ticking Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year (and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed).

B-I-4

Rate and Fee Basis: | All per annum rates shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days, in the case of ABR Loans the interest rate payable on which is then based on the Prime Rate) for actual days elapsed.

B-I-5

Pricing Grid

[***]

The Applicable Margin will increase, at each Pricing Level, by [***] per annum on each of the [●], [●] and [●] day after the Closing Date.

“Debt Rating” means, as of any date of determination, the rating as determined by either S&P or Moody’s of the Borrower’s non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt.

For purposes of the pricing grid, (a) if a Debt Rating is issued by each of S&P and Moody’s and the Debt Ratings fall within different Pricing Levels, then the higher of the Pricing Levels shall apply (with Pricing Level I being the highest and Pricing Level V being the lowest), unless there is a split in Debt Ratings of more than one Pricing Level, in which case the Pricing Level that is one level lower than the Pricing Level corresponding to the higher Debt Rating shall apply, provided that in no event shall any Pricing Level above Pricing Level IV apply to the Ticking Fee, (b) if any of S&P or Moody’s shall not have in effect a Debt Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then such rating agency shall be deemed to have issued a Debt Rating corresponding to the Pricing Level V, and (c) if neither S&P nor Moody’s shall have in effect a Debt Rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this paragraph), then Pricing Level V shall apply. If the rating system of S&P or Moody’s shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Arrangers (or, after the Closing Date, the Lenders) shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Pricing Grid set forth above to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the applicable Pricing Level shall be determined, with respect to the Debt Rating issued by such rating agency, by reference to the Debt Rating issued by such rating agency most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
